Introduction
Recently, I started learning VueJS, and this article is part of the series of my notes while learning it. In the previous parts, every time I used VueJS I loaded it from CDN and wrote all the code in a single JavaScript file. In this part, I will cover an alternative way to generate a project using the command line and what benefits we get using it that way.
CDN project and its problems
In all the previous articles I imported Vue from the CDN. All the code was in a single index.html file and a single index.js file. If you are building a small application, that might be ok. But what when you have a larger system? Big company projects, something like a webshop, but even something smaller like a simple to-do list can grow complex. Keeping component template in string.

It can just become very messy.
Now let’s take it even a step further. What if you wanted to use JSX, Typescript, SASS, or any other similar tool? You could, but then you would need…
